Soul To Keep

[Sample]
"To make a brand new start...for you who've waiting"

[Verse 1]
(So the Devil like...)
I've got 'em all convinced
Eternal life and holiness
Man, all that Bible nonsense
Forget that and follow me
See I know the true you y'all want to be
You want the brand new car
More money and a better paying job
How you gon' get that if you rely on God?
Is what you thinking
Fools confused bamboozled over clothes, shoes and jewels
Christian, Catholics and Jews
Even had 'em back when it all started
In the garden
With Eve and Adam your forefather
That's the legacy you get to be a part of, see?
It's either run with me or become a martyr
(The Prince and the power of the ending)
Drop a bug in their ear and I got 'em running scared
(Hope you prepared, say your prayers, jeah)

"Before I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep" - Ras Kass

[Verse 2]
(But the King like...)
I'm 'bout my father's business
Ever since the start that's the mission
Trying to be a fisher of men through soul winning
Sent down here in the land of corruption and sinning
What they after?
Money, cars, fame, women
I steady call the lost children, they don't listen
Just not paying attention
But see that was the problem from the beginning
Yo, all I did was come and die for your redemption
And plead on behalf that souls be forgiven
The way y'all living man, you gotta be kidding
And you got the gumption to play the role of a victim?
This is truly sickening
Far beyond the boarders of religion
A faithless petition
Glory be to He for divine intervention

[Verse 3]
I'm so confused, like which do I choose?
Either way I can lose depending on the view
From one side I go on to preach good news
But on the other, I'm just so cool
Now should I keep on living
Not caring 'bout actions
Flawed at the [?] only bring fatal attractions
Run by myself or move with faction?
Forwards or backwards?
I'm looking for answers
Try to remove the spiritual cancer
Hold myself to a higher standard
Forget about the glitz and the glamour
Or refrain from the fortune and the fame
Turn my back away out the game
And look to the King with my mind focused on one aim
Yeah
They say you can gain the whole world for your soul's to change
